By now we are all aware of the energy shortage. Even those who do not believe that there is a shortage are painfully aware of the rising costs. From all sides we are told that Americans can no longer enjoy the luxury of being comfortable. Turn your thermostat to 68° , turn it to 66° ; it’s better for your health to be cold and on and on. Must we sacrifice comfort to conserve energy? No! Technology is available right now which will conserve energy. Not only can we save energy and still be comfortable, but in many cases we can save money! Let’s look at this thing called comfort. Is it so simple that just adding a sweater willkeep us comfortable at 66° ? No, it is not simple; comfort is complex with many variables.
